I loved how secluded and peaceful camping at Cayo Costa was. You really get away from it all when you camp here. Kayaking was wonderful, full of manatees in a bay. Downside, if you don't have a boat, it's an expensive place to camp at $26 extra a person just to get there on the ferry. Then there's the having to drag your stuff down the ...
I don't know what to say. It absolutely took my breath away. Everything there, the water, the plants, the history, was fantastic. But...I camped in a tent sooooo it was a little rough. Of course, there are cabins but I don't think there's any running water in them. You have to walk down to the showers...even that was amazing. While ...

One of my favorite places.
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 02/09/07
I've been there 5 or 6 times in the last 10 years. Even when the camping area is full a few minutes walk will take you to a deserted section of the beach. The water is wonderful and the beach goes on for miles. There is great bird watching: ibis, spoonbills and egrets, ospreys, I once saw a great horned owl right in the campground. All kinds of ...

Prior To Charlie
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 12/05/06
Camped for long weekends prior to Charlie. Haven't been since. If you like all the comforts that electricity can offer this is NOT the place for you. If you like to get away from it all this IS the place for you. Probably one of my favorite spots. BEAUTIFUL beaches and even more beautiful sunsets! Rangers are friendly and helpful. Would like to know what it's like now - - without the trees. MISS IT

We Loved It!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 03/09/06
We loved our trip! We went on the overnite camping trip and rented one of the cabins (only $30/day!) Everyone there was really nice and the park rangers were super! If you feel the need for all the modern conveniences of home this may not be the place for you. There are restrooms and showers available but no electricity. We bought a couple of ...

Going back in 4 days!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 03/10/05
The most relaxing 3 days of my life, period. Even people I've been with who dislike camping enjoyed themselves immensly. Great way to spend a few days.

Island camping, what could be better?
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 02/10/05
Cayo Costa is a must see for anyone who loves Florida's beaches. We live on the mainland and felt we were hundreds of miles away while camping there. The cabins are rustic enough to feel you are still "roughing it", but offer that extra protection from cold fronts and busy racoons. The park rangers were awesome and go the extra ...
